This collection and arrangement of images and forms, experienced in conjunction with the title of the post and the Keats excerpt, is incredibly moving and vividly recreates history that we shouldn't lose because it's still very relevant. It unfolds like a silent film I think I've seen in dreams. It really stirs one up and seems appropriate to Labor Day, a holiday we tend to enjoy but not think about a lot. John Vachon is an amazing photographer.

Thank you, Curtis. I could not agree more about John Vachon. As to the knight-at-arms, perhaps I sympathize with him overmuch. The barns are bulging somewhere, but unless a crew of voluntary Amish housebuilders shows up here in the next 24 hours, we may be eaten alive by contractors, and never heard from again. (This is not even to mention the medicos, who may well be getting the first bite.)
